Collapsing Combine Extension Ladder

Collapsing Combine Extension Ladder COMBINES Accessories 28-1-29 After a back injury, Warren Wilson, Winchester, Ill., knew he'd need help getting into his new combine. Especially since the new combine had larger wheels than his old one. Together with his brother Clair, he designed a sturdy extension that folds up out of the way so as not to snag on anything. "Once we figured out what we needed and had the plans drawn up, all we needed to use was a torch and welder to make it," says Clair. The extension adds two extra ladder rungs and attaches directly to the original ladder. "That's not something we'd seen in factory-made ladder extensions," says Warren. The most important feature about the ladder is that it completely folds up into the last rung of the factory-installed ladder. "We didn't want it catching on anything unexpectedly," said Warren. "With the collapsible extension we can store the combine in its regular place without any difficulty."
